iPad 6th Gen Running iOS 14.6 Sound Problems when broadcasting Facebook Live

I live stream with Facebook Live for 4+ hours per day using my iPad on Wifi. Two days ago, my sound started a chirping noise over it almost like a sound lag, but the video picture is fine. It renders the broadcast of my online class useless for my clients. I've tested and tried all sorts of ideas (even trying my old iPhone 7). Can't get it to work on any older device under any circumstance. It still chirps. This only happens with Facebook Live. The sound/video works fine when taking a video with the camera. The only device I've been able to get FB Live sound to work with is on my new iPhone 12 and a new Samsung phone. But these are not options for daily use. Any ideas on how to make my iPad function for this again?

I am having the same issue on my iPad running 14.6. When using Facebook Live, all I get for audio is a chirping sound. I can use my iPhone XR to film the same Facebook Live video without any audio issues. My iPad worked fine for Facebook Live prior to the 14.6 update.

In our case at my church this only happens when we use an external feed. It does not happen when we use the internal mic. Furthermore, what is even crazier, if I run trial run that chirps, when I stop it and replay the recording, the sound is fine. I am wondering if it is network problem.
